CELEBRATING THE HEART OF HOSPICE - VOLUNTEERS
NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK 2019

We recognize the collective efforts of our volunteers, without them so many of our programs and services would not be possible. Hospice Vaughan believes that everyone deserves to navigate the road of life limiting illness with compassion and dignity and volunteers play such an important role in achieving this mission. YOU are the volunteer factor, Hospice Vaughan thanks you for lifting our community.
